Barefoot Poems for Naked Feet

Have you ever stomped through left-over paper like a monster or plunged your feet into a chilly sleeping bag while camping? Maybe you've put your feet up against a Jacuzzi jet or found funny marks when you pulled off your socks. If so, you'll find company in this collection of musings about the beauties of being barefoot. In twenty-six poems Stefi Weisburd explores where we go, what we feel and what shouldn't be underfoot when out feet are free. Lori McElrath-Eslick adds sparkle to theses contemplations with lively watercolour illustrations.

Stefi Weisburd received the Joan Leiman Jacobson Poetry Prize from "Discovery" I The Nation, and her collection of poems, The Wind-Up Gods, won the St. Lawrence Book Award. She lives with her family in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This is her first children's book.
